THE Annual Fund
2019 - 2020

The annual fund contest is here!

The BLACKHAWKS "Take the Turf" Annual Fund Participation contest has launched and the deadline to give is Friday, October 11th.  The Blackhawks will be transforming the Burley campus with a blow-up hockey arena and Head Coach Jeremy Colliton will have a fun skills and drills session (customized for the winning classes’ age). Then - a friendly turf hockey match!
The classroom with the highest percentage of families making a donation to the FOB Annual Fund will win!

If you have already made your contribution to the Annual Fund - THANK YOU! Your student(s) are already entered in the contest!
This year, the Annual Fund has its most ambitious goal ever - $175,000. Our school’s positive growth trajectory has put the school in a stronger - and larger - position than ever before. The past two years have seen the addition of a 3rd Kindergarten classroom (also resulting in a third 1st-grade classroom for 2019-2020). More children in the building means Burley School needs more. Merit Music needs more funding to continue to provide a robust musical education for every child at Burley. Burley will be bringing in We Got Game recess supervisors to provide extra playground coverage. More overall staffing support is, and will continue to be, necessary as the school population grows. But the good news is - more children means more families. Welcome aboard new parents - this is how we Raise it Up!
